CHRISTMAS WITH JACKIE EVANCHO

AT THE AGE OF 10, SHE DAZZLED AMERICA WITH HER STUNNING DEBUT ON NBC’S “AMERICA’S GOT TALENT.”

Since then she has released a string of platinum and gold albums and made history as the youngest solo platinum artist and the youngest person to give

a solo concert at New York’s Lincoln Center. Jackie Evancho sang for Pope Francis I during his U.S. visit and, a few years before, performed at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C., where she sang for — and

delighted — President Barack Obama and his family. Two months later, she was again invited to perform for the President and Congressional leaders during the

National Prayer Breakfast. Jackie Evancho is now 18 years old and moving toward maturity as a singer, as a creative artist and as a young woman. Jackie will

perform a collection of heart-warming, beloved classic Christmas and popular holiday songs that have a fresh new take with her amazing angelic voice.

to the 1990s. With songs like “I Know a Place,” “Don’t Sleep in the Subway,” “Color My World,” “Old Devil Moon,” “The Sound of Music,” “This is My Song”

and of course “Downtown,” this show is simply thrilling!
